Additional Information: The unique identifier for the dataset is the WRIMS Contact ID. It is a unique id reflecting the combination of party ID-application ID and relationship type and relation ship status. For example if a party is associated to multiple water rights (application ID) with multiple relationship types and for multiple from and to dates it would have a unique WRIMS_CONTACT_ID for every combination of those values. One Part ID may be associated with many WRIMS_CONTACT_ID. In most cases one to many relationships are resoved by providing an aggegate of the values, the most relevant or recent value, or a reduced number of the most relevant values in the dataset. Associated water rights information is provided on separate files.
